I have two jobs. One of which is at a bar - which I wont review on here because Im bias and Im all about FAIR AND UNBIASED REVIEWS. Also, Im not sure what else I would write about my bar other than $$ money money holla papa needs a new pair of shoes $ yes! i can pay my rent and afford to eat! or something like that.

False advertisement - paid 20 dollars after receiving the “free entrance with a Instagram follow” text. The bartender had a attitude. The man/woman working the entrance had attitudes. The DJ played the same songs the ENTIRE night. The crowd wasn’t really engaged. It was just lame. Not worth 20 dollars at all. Ladies are lucky to get in free. I wouldn’t come here on my own time.

They advertise free entrance before 10pm but yet hold up the line on purpose so that everyone pays. And to film the “big lines” they supposedly have. This is why no one comes to this club!

I’ve come here before numerous times. I was notified that it would be free as long as I sent a text before 11pm. We get there show them the text and then even though we text them number they said we needed to be following them on Instagram. Then we did what they asked and followed them , and they said it would be a $10 fee per person. They continuously kept changing the policy. And it’s false advertising don’t have something that you send out to customers. Then say something completely different when we get there. It’s a scam don’t go and don’t waste your time.

Great music and staff for sure, well at least some of the staff. But will never be celebrating my birthday ever again. And it was my first time there. Wasn’t even treated like it was my birthday there, and wasn’t given the stuff I was told to get for my birthday. And the fact you have to pay 20$ for water is ridiculous, especially since it’s HOT in there.

$25 a person for 2 dance floors. The place is nice inside but empty. The drinks are small 4 Oz with ice and they charge $9 and up. The bottle service is reasonable $120 and up but be prepare to pay extra for the juice, they expect you to finish a bottle with ONE mixer. This place is not even in DOWNTOWN to be charging that type of money. Please take your money some where else.

The entire dance floor smelled like urine. I don’t know if they had plumbing issues or what but I smelled it the entire time I was there. On top of that it was a very ghetto club.

Review №26

Horrible place advertise that for birthdays 11pm half price and girls in for free. Made us all pay. Charge what they wanted to charge, couple of us paid 25 and one of us they made her pay 50. Workers there are extremly rude, when I spoke to them, showing them the flyer they sent to us that before 11pm men half off and girls are free. For the birthday event they didnt care. I have spent hundreds of dollars here before an did not have such a horrible service i will not come back and would not recommend. If you want a good time go elsewhere.

It’s alright I guess, kinda pricey and a pretty young crowd. I don’t think the entrance fee should be that high for this place.

Review №28

Was supposed to go to an 18+ party here they had advertised on Facebook. They did not have a list of IDs acceptable on the event page. They also had a mandated coat check that they notified no one about until we got there . They also said they wouldnt accept a picture of the State ID I had , which would have been the same as showing a temporary Id. I came from all the way on the southside just to be denied entry so wrongly, even though I have had proof that I had been there before. This was a waste of time. Even when I do get my state issued Id I will not return. I will also encourage others to stay away from the establishment as well. If I can give it 0 stars I would.

The experience was terrible! Don’t waste your time/ money on here. I called two weeks ahead to reserve VIP for my birthday, when we got there we were seated I ordered a bottle of Malibu gave the waitress my money a couple mins later she came back saying they didn’t have that bottle. She asked if I would like something else I ordered another bottle to replace that one they didn’t have and again a couple mins later she came back with the same story. And guess what it happened a third time!! I had to tell the waitress to go check what bottles they had so we can avoid this mess. As I was waiting for my bottle to finally arrive another waitress comes and rudely tells me “you need to buy a bottle to sit here”. I responded saying I already gave them my money and was waiting for the longest time to get a decent bottle. Terrible service never going back!!!!

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE IN THE FRONT!!! Very unprofessional customer service, unorganized, old women working the front desk did not have my cousin on the birthday list when he clearly was on the list. Overall the first 20 minutes at Martini was horrible!!! I do not recommend this place if you are looking to be greeted with a smile and helpfulness. They do not have their guest list available to everyone. A front desk clerk had it on his phone and unavailable for the other three clerks- lack of professionalism.Also, ladies cannot wear fashion jackets. There is a mandatory coat check. This is not listed on their website. Security in the front need to communicate this to everyone before they are allowed into the venue.The music was excellent! Bar service was good.

They lie about their advertisements of free before 10, doesn’t matter if you are in line at 9:50 or through the doors at 10:01 they still charge.

Al
Review №32

Good club, expensive alcohol. Not worth the money for what they charge. Seriously $8 for Jack and coke, and for Mai tai. Bottles of tequila start at $170, come on. Would not go there anymore. I was broke by the end of the night. Friends agree, they said the same thing. Martini club will soon go out of business just all other clubs, trust me. Matter of time before people stop going there. Ive seen it over the years that I been clubbing.

Review №35

Good music but $25 cover is insane. I understand it is 18+ so you are missing out on bar sales but if you are 21+, think about reducing the cover. My fiance and I went and were shocked when the person said $50. We ended up buying quite a few drinks inside as well. We live down the street and thought it would be nice to have a spanish club down the street, but when it takes $50 just to get in before we even hit the bar, it will make us rethink us going in. And no, I dont want to sign up for mass text messages and get there by 10 so my girl can get in for reduced cover .

Review №36

One of the worst clubs Ive ever been to. The management is awful. The manager could care less if you complained to their face. The drinks are over priced. When I bought the tickets we were told doors open at 8pm yet we waited in line until 10:40pm to get in. Security was extremely rude when asked one simple question. I wont be returning.

I went to Martini last night. I had a text that stated if you arrive before 10pm that the cover would be free. I was in line at 940pm. There was 10 people ahead of me. So they had us all waiting in line until 1015pm. Like if they had a lot of people inside. Bullshit! It was freezing COLD!!Once I was inside well the guy charging said it was going to be 25$. After me and my wife waited 35 minutes. Dont go to this club they make people wait outside so the people driving by think its packed. Will never come back!!

Review №42

Worst place ever to go clubbing. DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT waste your money here. The cover is outrageous $25.00 and one cannot even dance. Drinks are tiny for the price and poorly made. Bathrooms are beyond a fair condition. Not to mention false advertisement. They dont close at 3am they kick people out at 2:30am. Huge disappointment. The one star is way too much of a rating.

Went for a comedy show, Leave your coats in the car, if u dont want to spend $3 MANDATORY coat check. Selling tickets to seats you cannot see the actual performer. Dont be fooled by the seating charts online. Drinks way over priced $42.00 for a bucket of 6 Modelos. Last time here

Review №44

The place is too expensive and the bathroom maintanance is poor, horrible place to celebrate your graduation or birthday. There was hardly any people. There was a spillage of liqour on the dance floor, the waiters or bartendars didnt even bother to clean it up, there could of been a horrible accident. Dont go there!!! I would give them a 0 star.

Review №45

Open Thursday thru Sunday they have 3 rooms of music 1 lounge room and a dinning area with a on site taco vendor.Theres 3 different rooms to choose from with some of the hottest Djs in Chicago playing. Its like being at 3 clubs in one place. Parking is free but the lot does get packed suggest early arrival to find a good spot and to get a discount at the door.Ladies are usually free with text before 10 depending on the night and house cover ranges between 20-25 to access all 3 rooms.Dress code is club attire depending on the night

You have to be 21 to enter so if your 18 good luck getting in they should really change it.

My girlfriend and I have been here a couple times & we hadnt had any problems before till this past saturday night. It was terrible. Supposedly they had said ladies free all night with text on the ad on facebook, we showed up and the lady at the front told us it was too late when we had sent the text which was b.s because it never said text this to this number before this time. Complete b.s & plus the woman charging us was giving us attitude. Over priced too smh!

Worst Place ever! FALSE ADVERTISEMENT! ! Dont waste your time in this club! Service is horrible! I understand the place is 18+ & they have to be strick but their beyond strick they are Rude!...Price is ridiculous your better off going to another club that has free entrance and they actually go through with the birthday package. Unlike this place, is the second time we booked with them and we had the same issue the first time!! And although we spoke with someone before we booked again with them to make sure this incident wouldnt happen again IT DID! & it was worse! We took a party bus there and security jumped in the bus as soon as we got there...And made us put our drinks down while we were in the bus, I understand they were being precautions but they took it way over board. The bus had just stopped. Mind you that most of us were 21+. SAVE YOUR MONEY, TIME, AND BOOK ELSEWHERE! Oh, and CLOSE TIME IS NOT 3! which is also FALSE ADVERTISEMENT! The day we booked was daylight savings and you would think they closed at the actual time no they still closed earlier. (SAME THING HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME AS WELL!) And we made sure we called ahead of time so we could let the bus company know but they could not give us an answer. They couldnt even be upfront about it! Dont waste your time your not missing anything BIG! GO TO TRANSIT or RIO better they are better clubs then this.

The place has horrible hospitality. The security guards seem to not know what the situation of the events. The drinks were water down with cheap liquor. Music was uncoordinated from each transition making the people to stop dancing. Do not recommend to throw your bday party here.

Review №54

Waited 20 mins for bartenders to serve me, not that it was busy, but because they had to talk to each other and some people. After I went by them to ask for a drink they ignored me for about 10 more mins until they decide to get a drink. And after all that they were servicing people without looking at wristbands. Obviously if they looked, they served about 6-7 people under age. Highly suggest that be resolved!

Review №55

Same as Alejandra Amezcua, sometime in May we had my boyfriends bday party. When we got there my bf told the ladies from the front desk that he had called before and was on the birthday list but they wouldnt even let him speak like they were annoyed by him. They were very rude, I would have left but we all got there on party bus. I will be celebrating my birthday there on Dec 18th and I just hope that we have a better experience than last time.Other than that there was good music and I liked the atmosphere. I had a lot of fun :)

Review №58

Manager unfortunately is unprofessional, calling them for further info its its another issue, specially because they like hanging up and their voices says it all once they answer. Downtown night clubs charge almost the same price for drinks only difference is that downtown clubs play great music and the atmosphere its a lot more positive. Eventually martini will end Business. Even standby producers theyre not convince.
